Default need help with my work van

well fellas now im down here full time to work for directv and the van i got is a 2000 ford windstar. the question i have is that the radio and keyless entry stopped working, anyone have any ideas what it could be is it a common problem? i heard that the keyless entry and alot of electronic stuff works off the radio(sounds kinda dumb if you ask me) taking these long trips from orlando to tampa everyday without a radio suck ass. ive checked all the fuses and relays and those are good, i also put a test light on every wire coming off the radio and only one wire lights up, im preety sure that when the key is in the on position two of them are supposed to light up. anybody have any ideas????

thanks for the help

Joel
